Amidst all these wonderful posts defending Snape, vilifying Snape, mourning 
Dumbledore, et.al. I wanted to move on to something a little more 
light-hearted as most of what I think about the book has already been 
covered.  So here we go:

With Sirius dead, Harry has no permission to go to Hogsmeade.  Obviously 
there's reasonable explanations around this, but none are ever stated in the 
book (unless I just totally missed it).  Perhaps after death a document of 
that nature is still valid in the wizarding world.  Perhaps "off-screen" 
McGonagall gave him permission, although her general character and PoA (even 
sans the "threat of Sirius") would make this unlikely.  Dumbledore certainly 
is capable of extending him permission.  Nonetheless it just struck me as 
odd that no mention was ever made of this in the book at all.
